A Lucky HOustOnian.

A reporter in his daily jaunt in
search of interesting matter for the Pc
rusal of the readers of the Post, hap
pened into the cigar store of S. AleXan-
der, IT., where he was told that one of
our popular young clothing dealers had
suddenly come into the possession of a
large sum of money. Closer investiga-
ton revealed the facts that the popular
young merchant was Mr.. Ben Kiam of
the firm of Kiam Bros. and the sum of
money was the neat little amount of
$1,000. Mr.. Kiam. on being inter-
viewed, stated that he disliked publici-
ty, but as the rumor had been eireula-
ted, he preferred emulating George
Washington and Grover Cleveland, and
would tell the TRUTH "Some time
last month" he said, 81 concluded to

ENJOY LIFE,

What truly beautiful world we live
in! Nature gives us grandeur of noun
tains, glens and oceans, and thousands
of means of enjoyment. We can desire
no better when in perfect health; but
how often do the majority of people
feel like giving it up disheartened, dis
couraged and worn out with disease,
when there is no occasion for this feel
ing, as every sufferer can easily obtain
satisfactory proof that Green's August
Flower will make them free from dis
ease as when born. Dyspepsia and Liver
Complaint are the direct causes OF sew
enty-five per cent. of such maladies as
Billiousness, Indigestion, Sick Head
ache, Costiyeness, Nervous Prostitution,
DIZZINESS OF the Head. Palpitation of
the Heart and other distressing symp-
toms. Three doses of August Flower
will prove its wonderful effect. Sample
bottles 10 cts. Try it. ajan27-eow-y

The republicans In the legisla-
ture behaved disgracefully l;-et
Friday. Connette, republican, was
elected in Davidson to the lower
house and it was found he was not
eligible, having been a resident OF
Tennessee less than three years.
His seat was contested and be was
subpenel to answer before the
election CONN ittee. He refused to
appear. The house then endeav
ored to have him appear at the bar
of the house and testify and the re-
publicans flibustered all day to
prevent. Finally when the resolu-
ton was about TO pass Connette
tried to leave the house and the
speaker ordered the sergeant at
arms to detain him, when Connette
turned and bowed his adieu and in
formed the speaker that his resig-
nation was in the hands of the gov
ernor. The house was proceeding
nevertheless to declare his seat va
cant and the republicans ilibus-
tered again until they exhausted
all dilatory tactics, and then they
| sought to leave the chamber and
break quorum. The speaker or.
dered the doors closed and ther
there was rough and tumble race
over chairs, desks and ratings fol
the doors. About half Of them goI
out. The democrats acted decently
and discreetly throughout. Con
pette was no more entitled to hi:
seat than we were and be knew il
and his party knew it, and their &C
lions were disgraceful and extreme
ly undigni6ed. Repnblicanism il

The editor of The CITIZEN is
about to be demolished by Gran
ky preacher. Two weeks ago while
in Nashville a friend came to US in
alarm and warned US of one John
Littleton. lie had overheard this
same preacher Edmundson telling
Littleton that "that Internal kuklux
McCord" had come to Nashville to
waylay him and he patted Littleton
on the back and urged him to de-
tend himself, and when Littleton
answered that he would blow out
our brains at the first wink we
made at him, this same preacher
urged him to it. We thereupon
came back and wrote the innocent
paragraph that seems to have given
him the rabies. We have the as
surance of good authority in Nash
vile that he prayed as indicated.
We doubt not he is man Of good
intentions originally, but he is a
bitter-pizen partisan and is really
crazy on religious topics and does
not remember what he says some
times.
If the reverend gentleman will
answer on oath that he didn't adj
wise John Littleton to kill US on
sight, we will call off the avengers.
1t will be hard to withhold them,
however, from avenging the merci-
less manner In which he spells klu
kluk. 1t may perhaps astonish the
gentleman to learn that he has the
wrong assassin by the ear. We are
not the distinguished murderer who
bears the name McCord. We never
murdered dozen men during the
whole of that glorious period, and
we were accounted only second
rate stranggler by the side of some
Of our most merciless members. We
warn him and his would-be dupe,
Mr.. Littleton, that if hair Of our
beautiful head is harmed, a swollen
food Of vengeance will be let loose
among his kind that will leave
fewer miScreants to SANDER the roy
al race of southrons.
The reader may not know that
this gentleman is the pastor of the
Northern Republican Methodist
Church in Nashville. He was born
aud bred in the south but left his
own church and separated himself
from his people to join a church
that is founded upon expl essed en-
nifty to the south. He has taken it
into his diseased brain that we
were a kuklux and he verify be-
lieyes that we have the power 20
summon legion of these noble sons
of terror who saved the south in the
supreme moment of danger and
make them do our bidding. His
cloth saves him.
We demand that the legislature
invite him not. ++1
